Hi Phil, I'm on the patch too and I've heard its really bad to cut patches. Going down to the next level of patch might be more effective if you think you are ready [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 31 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 888 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $121.52 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

I have been on 15mg patches for 35 days now and this morning have not put one on ,I have been awake for 5 hours now and am starting to feel better all the time.Much better than yesterday and much calmer than yesterday when I had the patch on!!! I have a patch in my pocket in case I get the collywobbles but right now I certainly dont need it. It definitely is the best day I have had for weeks..... Weird or what? I will continue the story as it unfolds...

Phil, I'm glad that you know you well enough to know when to put the patch on!!! Like I said earlier, it's not cheating to use NRT and it's nothing to be ashamed of. The patch is designed to help you learn how to be a non-smoker while still giving you a little bit of support to ease you into it... there's nothing wrong with that. Experiment over! From now on, it's probably a good idea just to stick to the program. You'll be ready to go nic-free someday, but now's obviously not the time and that's fine! Hang in there! Let us know how you're doing today! Crave the Quit!
